Hi, I've not been around for a while, things have been fairly quiet childminding wise, very unusual for here, and I have never had vacancies until recently.

I have a variation for 4 as 3 sets of siblings over the week, 3 lots of maternity leave at the same time!!. The three older ones all leave for school in July, so I need to look at filling places, fast!

I have 2 people who both want the same day and it has to be that day due to timetabling. My close colleague ( outstanding childminder and my back up) has that day free and says she will help me as I would have 6 under 5. It would be great if she could do the nursery run in the morning and at lunchtime, so I could have lunch ready on her return and it stops the babies going to sleep in the car, so I can then get them all down for a sleep at 1.15.

I will obviously pay her, etc, I have the employer liability etc from NCMA etc. I have downloaded the info from Ofsted, but there doesn't appear to be any forms.

Help needed please, any info, supporting info that may be useful etc, as I need to get this in place for FEb 1st - parents are leaving it late to find places as 2 new day nurseries offering 250 places 2 mins form the station, undercutting c/m's fees, but parent realise that c/ms are best for babies!

Thank you

Wouldn't she be a co-minder rather than assistant?

I spoke to Alibubbles and suggested that; we found a nice easy solution which everyone should like

Update, a brilliant response from Ofsted, following a lovely chat with a very helpful Ofsted officer
